I had sold him the car about a year earlier thinking that the engine was in great shape and that by the age and mileage it was past the chance of having the 'early Boxster' failure modes.
It`s interesting to see that the sleeve slipped the same way as in mine. Perhaps this was a factory resleeved engine as well?
